Beyond “Made in China”

“In the current phase of development in China, we are moving from ‘Made in China’ to ‘Created in China’. HR teams have progressed in the realm of people management like tireless explorers. However, HR can never reach its fullest potential without the support and understanding of the executive, the management team and each employee. HR’s achievements are always the result of collaboration between HR and the business team.”

—— Pei Yajie, HR Director of Tianjin Coca-Cola Beverages

Winner of “HR Team of the Year” (2010)

Dangerous Moves

“In times of recession and budgetary constraints, some organizations consider reducing or removing training completely. We think that this is a dangerous move that offers only a short-term financial solution, and stores up longer-term workforce capacity and capability issues for the eventual future upturn and recovery. As leadership talent becomes scarcer, developing people from within becomes increasingly important. We are committed to retaining the best talents and continuing with our goals in leadership development.”

——Richard Ganter, Regional HR Director, Asia Pacific of CH2M Hill

Winner of “Best Practice in Leadership Development” (2010)

Finally, we aligned our HR strategy with the company’s business strategy, thereby making HR a very good business partner.”
